No. Gmane already has this list on its server. I'm reading and reply from my
newsreader client right now.

I just can't figure out how to get the mail to stop coming to my email box.
I followed the majordomo directions many times today, but can't get mail to
stop.

Here's what I followed many times:

        Then send a message to abiword-user-request@abisource.com with the text

          set nomail on YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE

        or (depending on the version of Mailman)

          set authenticate YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE
          set delivery off

        in the body of the message.

I did what I was told, substituting an appropriate password where indicated,
and tried both versions of the suggestion. Each one returned the following
from majordomo:

        Command 'set' not recognized.

All other groups I joined, if memory serves me here, allowed me to chose
nondelivery via a Web interface. Perhaps that's why they worked and this
one fails.
